They talk about the importance of where to site a space port in Scotland, investment in technologies and the generation of 'jobs' (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/jul/16/rocket-men-locals-divided-over-plans-for-uks-first-spaceport) but nobody ever seems to mention the potential impact of such activities on climate change! Even if people are prepared to pay for such activities, I am not too sure they should be encouraged to do so.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
